Okay, so I'd really like to get DA:O, but there's a small problem: the violence it seems to contain. It doesn't bother me, but I still live at home, and my parents aren't all that tolerant. Is there an in-game option to turn down the gore?

There is an option to turn down the gore (that I wouldn't dream of using save to see what it does)right there in the title options menu.
I imagine that it turns the game into a Mideval version of Knights of the Old Republic, violence wise.

Yes. The gore is immense (though it is just a hell of a lot of blood) but there is an option to turn all the blood spewing off.
I already have enough. That would just give me more for the Government to track me with.UltimatheChosen said:
No, there isn't. You can disable PERSISTENT gore that your characters get covered in during fights (you literally walk away from battles soaked in blood), but there'll still be decapitations, spurting blood and other cheery things like that. Not to mention the cutscenes, especially those involving Blood Magic (the name tips it off).UltimatheChosen said:
It's a violent game.
Ok lets get this straight, if you get it for the PC, and Gore is really an issue, then the game turns it off when you change the Detail slider to Low or Medium.UltimatheChosen said:
Also there is a persistent gore option, which means that all the blood, etc. disappears after a battle.
I play the game on the Low detail settings, because its a bit of a beast of a game and I'm a sucker for super smooth gameplay. So I can vouch for there not being gore in the low detail setting.
If youre getting it on a console, then I'm sorry. In general.
You can disable blood from staying on your player after battle, but I'm not sure it does much else.
Hey thanks for answering my question before I had a chance to ask it. That bloodsplatter thing is quite annoying during cutscenes when it doesn't fit (like during the ritual where it does fit). I was about to ask if persistent gore would turn that off.Jandau said:
The persisent gore thing is quite the strange thing, though I suppose it makes sense. Especially for the warriors and rogues when they are engaging in melee combat, they are bound to get some of the old you-know-hue on their pristine armour.
Speaking of the warriors, I find it funny, but rather convenient, that my Mabari is a more reliable tank type than Alistair seems to be. I could have done with a dog like that in Fable II....

I dunno. You would think they would at least wipe thier faces or something. I have a ton of leather armor and blank pieces of paper why not wipe thier face with that? Not like the merchants are gonna care if I used them as napkins first.MarsProbe said:
Who knows? I have a lot of that Blank Vellum stuff and have yet to find a use for it, so maybe in the meantime they could just use it to clean themselves up. All that blood, and I haven't even chosen the Blood Magic specialisation yet.squid5580 said:
What I really want to know is why they made it so tame. If you are going to go for that kind of appeal then why not go all the way? I wanna see my characters soaked in blood. Sure the first kill gives you a few spots but after hacking the 20th guy in a row the only thing that shouldn't be red is thier eyes.MarsProbe said:
